After taking into account the nerf along with the buffs, frost overall single target damage at ilevel 700 will be buffed about 3.7%. Arcane will receive about a 4% nerf to overall single target damage at ilevel 700. This brings the gap between frost and arcane much closer, but arcane still will do about 2.5% better on single target than frost, so I forsee no changes to the current arcane for single, and fire for aoe.

Hey there!
I've recently started playing a mage, and I feel like my performance is a little below where it should be right now... I feel like I have the basics of the fire rotation down, but I really want to make any improvements that I can.. I don't really know where i'm going wrong, or what i'm doing that is causing a gap in numbers between me and similarly geared players. I have a log from a normal Xavius fight from earlier, maybe someone could take a look at it and point out any mistakes or give a few pointers?
Thanks for your time!

Preface:
- First post on Ice Veins - only recently started using the site but, omg, savior
- Been playing Warcraft for about 4 years, off and on... still consider myself a newb
- Boosted a blood elf mage to 100, thinking I'd only use it for farming
- Got myself all three artifacts and up to 110 as frost

So, I got sick of the low dps that frost mage was providing in dungeons and was getting killed frequently. Others in my parties would get very frustrated with me. I didn't blame them.
Today I switched to Fire mage. Of course, I'm not familiar with all the spells but WOW. I tried killing some withered in Suramar just to test it out and they demolished me. Ice Barrier was always my go-to as Frost and if my shield went down before I could recast, I'd cast Mirror Image to take the damage for me.
(I HATE that mages have no in-combat heal)
Looking for help. Tell me if you need me to post anything. Like I said; total newbie. Most acronyms frighten me and there are lots of terms I don't know, lol.
I'm thisclose to finishing Pathfinder Part 1. Should probably stick to Frost until I get it, but I would like to go Fire after that. Preferably without dying.

ABOUT US
We are a very social guild LFM for progression/semi-casual raiding and leveling.
When we say "semi-casual," we mean that we raid two days for three hours, can laugh about a wipe but are still serious about progression. We plan to do Normal raids (not for long) before going on to Heroic and Mythic.
New players and all levels welcomed. We are VERY new player and new role friendly and have a few new players in the raid group already. We will work with you and get you trained up. So don't worry!
We do have some PvPers and an experienced RBG leader so PvP isn't out of the question.
We're almost always on Discord and we joke around a lot. Some jokes aren't appropriate so keep that in mind. (Recommended 18+)
LOOT STYLE
Currently we are using the EPGP system (http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/EPGP).
The addon EPGP (DKP Reloaded), EPGP Lootmaster, DBM, and GTFO are required to be downloaded and kept up-to-date on raid nights.
RAIDING SCHEDULE
Fridays & Sundays 8pm - 11pm PST. (10pm - 1am Server Time.)
NOTE: Flasks, foods, potions, and enchants will be provided for raiders on a first-come first-serve basis. People who contribute to the guild bank will also have preference. Guild repairs provided on raid nights.
Trials will be provided with the aforementioned items if we can spare them after the main raiders.
CURRENT PROGRESSION
Emerald Nightmare, [7/7N] [6/7H]
Trial of Valor, [2/3N]
